Secretary whitney's New Estate.

An interesting story may be told Of
how the Secretary managed to win
over the former proprietor of the es-
tate (Grasslands) The tenacity Of
the old-time Maryland or Virginia
planter for his patrimonial estates is
proverbial. He would often rather
exc out an existence of debt and incon-
venience than to sacrifice his acres and
live in competency and relief. With
out word the Secretary made up his
mind what he was willing to pay for
the estate, which comprised about 105
acres. Instead of greenbacks, prom
issories, bonds, mortgages, and such
mythical evidences of tangible values
to the average rugal mind. the Secre-
tary converted the whole sum into hard
bimetallic cash, "eagles" with golden
wings and standards" bearing the
legend I'm God We Trust" He drove
to the mansion, and seating himself at
a rickety table of the colonial era,
placed the bags of ringing coin before
the mystified relic of the old regime.
Twenty thousand in sight versus spec
ulative crops, realistic taxation and
increasing ratio of dilapidation was
enough to shake even the traditional
loyalty of the long-suffering and i'm
pecunious legatee of an ancient family
and noble name. The bargain was
struck. The Secretary that evening
drove back to town the proprietor of a
beautiful estate, the planter remained
with his ducats. Twenty thousand
dollars restored the old family seat to
more than its former splendor, and
never was hospitality more lavishly
dispensed than it is to-day under its
generous host and hostess. Phtladet-
phid Times.

Sherman'S Endorsement.

The talk about a serious disagree
ment between the Blaine and Sherman
man in the Ohio convention was large
" due to the VIVID imagination of news
paper correspondents. There was never
any good reason for doubling that the
convention would be PARTIALLY unan-
imous for Sherman. Democrates hoped
for disagreement. 1t was their only
hope. The endorsement, however, has
no great national significance. 1t was
no doubt a qualification to the able IL
nancier, the sound stateman and the
honest man who has always been iden-
tilted with the party and of late its
acknowledged leader in his own state.
But outside of Ohio there is not the
enthusiasm for Sherman which services
like his should arouse. He has notthe
personality. the aggressiyeness, the
magnetism of a Blaine. While his SER
vices to his party and to his country
have been greater than those of Mr..
Blaine, he has not the power to create
so great enthusiasm. The probability is
that were the nationl convention to meet
at once Mr.. Blaine would be nominated
by reclamation.

serious disease to gain foothold. In
this condition the system is quick to

Kentucky Clans.

LEXINGTON, Ky, July 2S.-Colonel
John B. Castleman and adjutant Roger
Williams returned from Morehead to-
day, where they had been sent by Gov
ernor Knott to inquire into the pro-
priety of sending troups there to attend
on the sessions of the Circuit Court,
which is set to convene there next Mon
day. Troops have been asked for by
Judge Cole. Sheriff Hegg and others.
The sheriff is in Mount Sterling. and
declares that he will not go to Morehead
to attend court unless troops are sent
to maintain the peace. The commission
ers, after examining the situation care
fully, decided to report adversely to
sending troops to Morehead. The
town is dead town. Every business
house is closed and the doors nailed up,
with the exception of one small grocery
and saloon, the latter being carried on
by the widow of craig Tolliver. The
Rainy hotel is also open. With these
exceptions no business whatever is
carried on at Morehead. The town is
patrolled day and night by forty men,
bers of the Law and Order society, and
these men are armed with Winchester
rifles, and are the only persons to be
seen moving around. They are con-
stantly on the alert for an attack from
the Tolliver gang, and the rumors of
the close proximity of the gang TO the
town are heard every day. All men,
bers of the Law and Order society OBJ
ject to the presence of troops, and ex-
press their ability to protect citizens
and aid the court in the full execution
OF the law. 1t is the general feeling
that as soon as the partrol is removed,
or if it should become careless so as to
afford an opportunity, the Tolliverites
will swoop down on the town and
avenge the death of their chief and his
kinsmen. 1t is known that an organiza-
ton for that purpose is in easy reach of
Morehead, and the chances are that
more bloodshed will follow the slightest
opportunity for an attack.

What's in n Name?

Whether namss are good or bad, APP
propriate or the opposite, it would
seem that when they once become at
all current Or familiar, there is no such
thing as shaking them off. We sup
pose that the name Canada Thistle"
will be used to the end of time, in this
country, although it is well kown that
this species of CirSiunl is not indigen-
Gus to Canada, but to Europe, where
it has been known for centuries under
the common name of Cursed Thistle"
which is really an appropriate name.
Jerusalem Artichoke is another in
appropriate and misleading name
given toa North American plant in
trOduced into English gardens about
three hundred years ago from Canada,
and under the name of Canada Potato.
This species of HelianthaS is neither an
artichOke nor native of Jerusalem;
still these misleading names will prob
ably cling to it for centuries to come.
The misnamed Irish Potato is an
other valuable native plant, which may
now be found growing wild on thous-
IONA, and although introduced into
oiedb DIlOtin uuueE lue udille Vi v II
ginia Potato" the more modern one
of Irish Potato, given to it in derision,
appears to have become the most pop
ular. We have common American
bird generally called Robin, but it
does not belong to the same genus as
the true Robin of Europe. But this is
not half so bad as to be obliged to
honor the Turks by calling a noble
member of the feathered tribe ''Tur-
key 1t is true we have some conso-
lation in knowing that the filthiest
member is called Turkey Buzzard.
There are persons who have banker
ing after common or popular names of
things, and affect to dislike the true or
scientific names, which are always the
same among all the civilized nations.

A Dead Industry,


'Is there any market tor roller
skatesPn was asked of Mr.. Jerry Ray
mond, who, with his brother, was the
pioneer of the business.
None to speak of, was the reply;
s'the bottom has fallen clean out of it. ,"
s.Has the demand entirely ceasedw
practically, yes. We continue to
send few small orders to Canada, the
west, and to Australia; with these ex-
ceptions the trade is as dead as an
Egyptian mummy
HAS there been much change in the
price of skatesp"
You'll laugh, probably, when / tell
you that the skates we sold two or three
years ago for So and Sc pair can now
be purchased for $1.25 and $3.50, and
yet at these latter figures we can make
fair profit. OF course, our material
doesn't cost as much as it did then,
and in relation to this matter i want to
tell you something that is quite inter-
esting, and which very few people out
side the business know anything about.
When we began the manufacture of
skates lockwood, out of which the
wheels were made, was worth about
$50 ton. In making the rollers we
experimental with almost everything
that suggested itself, but could discover
nothing that served the purpose so well
as the material mentioned. OF course
an enormous demand for it immediate
ly sprang up, and the price also took a
jump. The dealers seemed conscious
of the fact that we could not get along
without it, and in less than no time
they had sent the price from $50 to
$40 ton, and this was the figure that
they held it at until the demand slack
ened. But this wasn't all: The wood
companies who use lockwood almost
exclusively in their business were
brought up with sudden turn when
they found the article had increased
so enormously in price. They couldn't
afford to purchase it at such value,
and had to substitute an inferior wood
until it became cheaper. We com
plctely drained the market, and at one
time it looked rs if we would be COM
PEELED to use some kind of a substitute,
but such an emergency never arose,
from the fact that just about this time
the roller-skating business became
thoroughly paralyzed."
Are many of the jobhers stocked up
with skates?'
Yes, great many of them. know
a number of firms who have from one
to five thousand pairs, with no imme-
diate prospect of ever getting rid of
them"
''On the whole, there was not great
deal of money made on the Kinks, was
there?'
ut always pains me to think of that
matter. Look here, at these photo
graphs. There is one that shows the
interior of my Brooklyn rink, which
was the finest in the world. 1t cost just
$50, 900 to provide the subject for that
little picture. All of those beautiful dec
orations were swept away as suddenly
as if they had been picked up by cy-
clone and ground into splinters. | am
not alone in this disastrous experience;
there were hundreds of others who
were served almost rs badly as was.
